"Little sister."
"Why the sudden call, miss me, don't you?"
Gregory Smith's accent is playful and casual, just like his profession. He paints well and plays with mud even better, unrestricted and free-spirited.
Hearing her brother's voice on the phone, Lyra Smith was filled with longing. Her voice involuntarily became soft, "Mmm, miss you."
There was suddenly silence on the other end of the phone.
Just as Lyra was about to ask what had happened, Gregory said: "Should I fly back right now, stand in front of you, wait for you to rush into my arms, and then tell you that I miss you so much, baby?"
The appellation changed seamlessly.
Lyra successfully felt embarrassed.
"If you come back, dad will kill you." She had to remind Gregory because their many battles over abandoning their family for the sake of playing with mud. Gregory is quite literally a street urchin now.
